Fish, chicken diet can be unhealthy

Health conscious women, who limit their diet to mainly chicken and fish, may face as many problems as those who binge on junk foods due to the presence of too little iron in both the diets, a new study has warned.

Researchers revealed that a lack of understanding of the significance of iron could be endangering women`s health and hindering children`s performance at school.

Switching a few meals to foods high in iron, such as steak, liver and watercress could make all the difference, the Daily Express reported.

`The high rate of iron deficiency among women in a developed country like the UK is a real concern,` said TV doctor and health campaigner Christian Jessen.
